WHAT IS TIRZEPATIDE?
The tirzepatide injection is a peptide therapy weight loss drug that is administered by injection. This particular treatment is effective in helping patients with type 2 diabetes manage their condition. At the same time, it can boost weight loss for patients with a high BMI who struggle to achieve their desired results with diet and exercise alone. The medication controls insulin levels, producing more when blood sugar levels rise. At the same time, it slows the movement of food in the stomach, allowing the patient who takes the injections to feel fuller longer. This feeling of satiety tells our body to eat less, reducing caloric consumption and, in turn, leading to increased weight loss. In studies patients on tirzepatide lose over 15% of their body weight while taking this medication. Tirzepatide is safe for both short and long-term use unlike many other weight loss options.
